These are works from my 2019 solo show at Beacon Gallery in Boston, which reflected on my story as an immigrant and strove to promote a conversation about welcoming 'the other' in our midst. The varied materials selected for each piece were sourced both from Israel and from my home in Massachusetts. Most can be traced back to significant people or places in my life, such as the farm in Israel on which I grew up. Each piece addresses the personal yet universal themes that face immigrants.
This body of work was created in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Isolated and confronting a world in turmoil, these works many using the newspaper headlines from the pandemic address, the social inequalities Covid has spotlighted and brought to the forefront.
